Preparation
Too sleepy to pray
The little bird now waits in his nest
To sing the coming day,
Bathed and washed in the light,
Anointed with the ointment
Of a hundred thousand loving rays
That were once but one,
Making home of the earth
With colors that are not of the world—
Never speaking, only singing
With wings outstretched to the sun.
